Apple Supplier Potentially Hints at iPhone 15 Pro With Solid-State Volume and Power Buttons

[sorgo †]

Maybe we’ll actually be getting those redesigned round volume “buttons” like we were allegedly going to get with what, the iPhone 13?

I do miss the round volume buttons too. It was nice and simple.

Constant diarrhoea? Feel bad for you

Hah! You know it. Cheese delivery truck will be here soon. It’s all about balance.

👊😎👍

Hopefully this also means the ringer switch becomes solid state and can be changed via software! Finally be able to have ringer set automatically via Focus.

They could go back to the iPhone 4 round volume buttons and make them more flush. I’d be aight with that.

Isn’t swipping up for home pretty easy? Could it get any easier?

I'm going to presume you're still a somewhat young person who doesn't have problems with their dexterity. A lot of seniors aren't that fortunate so for them a physical button a much easier to use.

Sometimes I do wish Apple can get inspired by Blackberry Passport. Why not offer an iPhone with a physical keyboard, LOL. That's something different! Forget about the foldable iPhone.

I think the issue with physical keyboards and a touch interface screen is that the UX ends up being clunky as you’re having to shift between the keyboard and screen. Plus, all that space for the keyboard mechanicals becomes added weight and likely a smaller screen - or a more complex sliding mechanism to hide the keyboard.

Physical keyboards made sense back when our phones were really just a phone with basic texting / email capabilities.

How we would do a Hard reset if the phone crash (aka “stop responding”)?

For the love of all that is holy, if they do this I hope they sense pressure and not skin contact. Otherwise every single case design that covers the buttons will no longer work.

Ironically I haven't had any buttons fail on iPhones since my iPhone 5. The current design is robust and reliable. I don't know why they're changing it.

1. Apple's haptic buttons to date have been absolutely world class. People randomly deciding to cast doubt on them now is strange to say the least.
2. This isn't about buttons failing. That's just a silly supposition made by the author. Undoubtedly this about water proofing and internal design changes.

Can have dedicated hardware for managing the buttons.

I meant it actually and that's the reason. I wipe the iPhone with disinfectant frequently. But I'd like to wash it like I'd my Apple Watch. I know the phone is water resistant but as I understand it right now that's more for accidents than deliberate immersion. Rather than wiping it carefully whenever I come back home each day it would be more convenient to just put it right under the faucet and wash it with soap.

Good lord, don't wash or pour disinfectant on your electronics. Get a UV sterilizer. It will do a much better job and you won't risk damaging the device.

until every single car comes equipped with wireless CarPlay, portless is not an option.

CarPlay seems to be the only thing people can think of....people who don't realize that there is an entire world of hardware infrastructure for iPhones that uses lightning.

YESSSSS OMG!!! Now that plastic spacer where the sim card slot used to be is going to have that space utilized with these new Taptic Engine’s! Shows how much planning goes into the iPhone in regards to interativity and it’s evolution. This just settles it imo. Solid state buttons for the win!!!!

😄😄😄

Non-Pro models won't have haptic buttons nor SIM tray in the U.S. The space will still be filled by a plastic spacer.

And in reality, I seriously doubt Apple will remove SIM tray globally next year.

Are the camera bumps going to extend out about a half inch on these models, too?

I understand your concern, but I have been using Lysol disinfectant wipes #ad on all my devices -- Mac, iPhone, iPad -- for over a decade. There has never been any damage or discoloration caused by this. Just plain sterile goodness.

But it would be even more convenient if I can just throw my phone in the dishwasher or the laundry. 🤔

Solid state keys? Go the other direction and bring back a physical keyboard.

Yea I never had a full physical keyboard. Just the number pads with T9 or hitting the key over and over

Yea soon you can measure social distance range with it

I want the iPhone to be completely sealed and waterproof so I can wash it like a piece of lettuce.

I’ve been doing that for years and I’ve never had any water damage.

So I’ve been running my phones under the tap with no soap since the 7. No problems.

Apple should look at what Volkswagen are doing right now with their golf…

Only if it tastes like lettuce too.

Reminds me of new cars with solid-state buttons, terrible decision, some cars brands even reversed the decision

Some people don't even realize the feedback you get from clicking the trackpad is haptic feedback as opposed to an actual click. If Apple is implementing these buttons I'm sure they'll be better than other implementations.

I hope they bring magsafe to the iphone, that could make it near-waterproof (not while charging tho)

I think the iPhone will go port-less too

Ok, then. Thanks.
